Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection and Malwarebytes Endpoint Detection and Response subscriptions include a comprehensive list of applications to protect. This list is the default set of applications protected by our Anti-Exploit technology. Anti-Exploit technology is a multi-layered protection module in Malwarebytes that prevents exploit attacks that target vulnerabilities found in these applications.
To find the list of protected applications in the Nebula console:
- On the left navigation menu, go to Configure > Policies.
- Click New or select an existing policy.
- Select Protection settings.
- Under Exploit Protection, click Advanced settings > Manage protected applications.
When you click Manage protected applications, a window displays the full list of applications that Malwarebytes protects. By default, protection for these apps is enabled. See below for the full list:
